| The race may be over but as it turns out they are still head hunting. I guess they will do what they can to screw with people till the last day of their term. I say their term because of the people involved.

THE RACE IS OVER! Get on with your life or is slinging mud and gossiping all you have to do? Ronnie Lee and Cathy for your information (and it is really none of your business)went on the first vacation they have had in years after the election. If you ever run for any office instead of gossiping you would know it takes a lot out of you and Steve and his wife need a vacation too.
Steve won, Ronnie lost. Both are good men and there will be a much smoother transition than with Steve Worley. There are inventories being done by honest employees that are just trying to make a living and should not be crucified by you and the other gossips on this site.
Get a job, do volunteer work but, stop all this nasiness. Steve is a better man than any of you, so let him and Ronnie work it out. They are both big boys and don't need your help.

| I'm not slinging mud, just telling the truth, and things were reported through the chain of command as called for not just by me but by others and we got the standard reply " ITS BEING HANDLED ". I am honest and have never taken ANYTHING that I did not earn, and have done my best to do my DUTY to the TAXPAYERS who pay me. I saw the majority of things after the Lee administration had been voted out last time, so there was a new sheriff coming in and I waited, Steve Worley was a good sheriff and person, another honest man and things were much improved, but Lee got back in and the downhill slide started again. Now Steve Whidden is coming in, hes seems like an honest and fair man so lets give him a chance to see what he can do

| Your right I remember Bob and he was a good, honest man, which didn't fit with the OLE BOYS in local government, but like you said they are gone. Steve Whidden sounds like another good honest man lets give him a chance to prove it.

she is probably packing the county goodies up for the get away to come later, they know in 4 years he will be waaaaaaay toooooo old to run again, so its time to go back to where they came from

| But then again there is still time for everything to fall into place and for the transition to go very smoothly. This has been hard on all the candidates that have run for office and the people that work for them. So lets all have patience and give everybody some support.

That would be a great idea but unfortunately this probably won't happen. If the new incoming administration can not even get thu the door to talk to them there is no way the old admin is going to let them in to do any kind of audit.
During the Worley admin he thought enough of his people that he let Ronnie in and tried to make the transition go as smoothly as possible.
To bad that this can't happen now instead of making it so hard on everybody. Actions speak alot wouldn't you say.

It would be a great idea if someone could go in the Sheriff office and audit right now before RL and his administration rapes the county like he did last time he lost. Alot of inventory unaccounted for and alot of tax dollars wasted on his soon to be unemployed do nothings.
Also, has anyone noticed RL has not been present at any of the public gatherings that up until election time he made sure he was the center of attention of? The Marine of all Marines was not at the Veterens Day service in LaBelle and I was told he was not in Clewiston either---guess his patriotism went out the window with the "lost ballots" !
Wonder if he has attended any funerals this week???

zimmerree,
Sheriff- Elect Widden needs to contact an auditing firm soon.They need to walk in the door on the first day and begin the audit. Funding from his budget is perfectly legal. The Florida Sheriff's Association can recommend a firm to him or someone local out of Ft. Myers. I worked for a previous Sheriff of Hendry County (Bob Durkis) who took over from Sermon who had been appointed temporarily to run the Department when Sermon's dad was murdered in 1980. Dyess Sr. had given away several dozen confiscated firearms to his constituants. Guns that were confiscated by the Courts and handed to the S.O. for destruction. The destruction amounted to giving them away to supporters. I also was a member of the S.O. back then and saw the guns go out the door with my own eyes. Durkis tried to clean up the Department and the County but faced unsermountable odds. Hopefully Whidden can do it as most of the other elected officials who fought Durkis are long out of office.

Is doing your job this time like last time and forever turning a blind eye while other LEO break the laws you are sworn to uphold? Those Hendry County tax dollars being stolen and the embezzled is MY MONEY.
The taxpayers are your employers, if I saw someone stealing from my employer I would not just watch and ignore it over and over, does not say much for you. Does your job mean more than your integrity and your own honesty and worth? Or are you just slinging mud and lies? Post some proof, and if you won't I will inform FDLE or find a cop that is not afraid to do their job, I am sure there are some left, hopefully we elected one. illegal is illegal if true let a judge decide but stop them from stealing from Hendry County taxpayers you are sworn and entrusted to protect from such things as you say happen over and over forever. Disgusting

Geezus H. Christ on crutches!!!
You people are the most insane bunch of cry babies I have ever had the displeasure of meeting!
Let the man,"Steve" get into office before you pass judgement on his staff, his position, or his ability to handle crime in Hendry County.
While he was not my choice, I voted for Kevin Nelson. He is now our new sheriff, and you will need to let him get to work. For better or worse, and personally don't see how it could be any worse. He deserves the opportunity to get his legs under him, and the department in the position it needs to be in to address the goings on in Hendry County.
Then
and ONLY then can you have a truly informed opinion of the man.
Personally I know where to find him if I have a question of him. He is out every morning talking to the citizens of LaBelle. He seemed pretty humble to me, no signs of rodent like behavior in my opinion. Just a guy that has a huge job in front of him. Maybe you should show up about 8 am around the Big V parking lot, that's where I see him most mornings. He is taking the time to talk to anybody that wants speak with him.
Or, you can just sit here an speculate while resembling that aforementioned rodent? I would like to think you have better things to worry about than this petty crap that a few rumor mongers have spent almost a year building up to EPIC proportions.

I agree that the election is over, holidays approach, a new year is about to begin the economy sucks my dollars have lost their power.
We should give all the newly elected, county, state and national winners a chance, and support them with their agenda and see what they are all about and if they do as they promised, locally only Mr. Turner is a disappointment, hope all other elected officials bring about an improved hendry county, state of florida and America.

There are 920 posts in this thread and there are a few other threads concerning the Sheriffs Department, most from within that know of the goings on, a lot of them hint at illegal activities by LEO.
Should this not be enough to warrant an FDLE look see? I am troubled at the different allegations of misappropriation, theft, moral turpitude, un becoming conduct, embezzlement just to name a few. Kinda disturbing insight has been been posted. How can we police the public when we cannot police ourselves?

The new Sheriff is going to be 'The Most Powerful Man in Hendry County come January', as he has commented at different times, within earshot of several. And if you take this as arrogance or anything negative then you do not know Whidden. I have heard him say that too and he is not being arrogant or self-centered he is amazed at position and Ronnie has made it a point in the past to prove he believes the Sheriff is the most powerful man in the county.
Just today was he not at the Main office, accompanied by his father, and Chuck Powell? So, has his father and Chuck Powell not been with him throughout the entire campaign?
Instead of walking in on a Friday, asking for a meeting with the Cheif, like the office is a walk in clinic, make a polite phone call to the Sheriff, and like professionals, arrange a time to meet. This also goes on the assumption that Ronnie will answer the phone call which we all know is not easy to get him to do as proven by the residents of the county who have called to express their concerns about one thing or another. Whidden requested a meeting with the Chief, who says it has to be on the phone? The Chief left out the back door and Whidden was told he was out of the office. Isn't is polite politics for the person who lost the election to call and congratulate the winner? Ronnie has yet to do this and Whidden has stated that he wants to work with Ronnie to make this a smooth, professional transition.
One would think 'Peaches' would be more polished now, after some months of campaigning, to not repeat his past displays of ignorance - like requesting a copy of the budget he clearly did not understand, or know how to read. Actually Gari he never received the line item budget he requested, he received a collapsed version that only showed the categories not the actual line items themselves. Reading the budget was easy there was not that much there.
Sitting in front of the office today and as some deputies walked in or out, 'Peaches' would ask the deputy to 'go in and ask so and so to come outside and talk to me' Did you see this for yourself or is it hearsay as all the rumors about who he is bring back to the sO?
Instead of walking the 'professional' talk of his campaign, he seems to be scurrying like a rodent. Howso? If he was scurrying around like a rodent why would he be in the front of the SO?
If facts and memory are accurate, the incoming Worley administration was grated fairly liberal open access to the office very early on, to faciliate a smooth transistion for those left behind. No exactly the truth there Gari, ask Worley for details.
When the Worley administration was voted out, there was no reciprocity, to the incoming Lee administration - who was denied access until the last moments possible. This too Gari is not true. Worley gave Ronnie offered access but chose to not come in and examine the books. Worley even called the state to say that Ronnie had not come in to examine the books and how he should habdle the situation. Ronnie wanted Worley's office staff there at midnight to switch the books over but he had fired them as of 5pm so they could not come in so Tallahassee said to leave the books open on the desk and that was all Worley could do since he had offered on several occassions for Ronnie to come examine them but chose not to.
As far as the 'good riddance' to those of us 'who choose to resign so they wont work for faggots' - your good riddance wishes only validates the concerns. The good riddance is to one particular person who made a comment based on nothing but her own excuse to leave. She told many people that if Ronnie lost to anyone that she would resign. But now that is is Whidden she makes this derogatory comment as her excuse to leave. Funny how nice she was to his face at the LaBelle Chamber dinner then how nasty she gets behind his back. Whidden has promised NO ONE a job and regardless of the rumors that have floated around town about certain prior employees coming back no one was promised to come back. If you have a question about a particular former employee coming back ASK WHIDDEN and he will tell you once he has decided. Truthfully Gari, good riddance is my opinion and my opinion only, not Whidden's and I never said it was. If you can't leave without making a BS excuse then goodbye.

You have a Great Idea,
I believe this is always a priority while changing administrations and the issue will certainly be looked into. Its the responsible thing to do, and now the SO will have better ACCOUNTABILITY and overall MANAGEMENT because WE elected a true LEADER who is going to serve this county well.

I doubt Buford will be cordial enough to let Whidden in the building much less transition the SO into the new admin. I don't doubt Mike Scott was relieved to hear Buford lost the election, he only "endorsed" him because he was the sitting Sheriff.
I have not heard who is supposed to be a part of Whidden's team but I am sure he will surround himself with good people who want to assist him in bringing the HCSO to where it should be.
I don't doubt Buford will be out early and truthfully it would be a blessing for the employees if he did so.

So, has anyone heard of who Whiddens' new administration will be?
Does anyone know if RL will be letting Whidden in early to start the transistion? BTW, I heard that Mike Scott was relieved we got him out of office. HA! Ronnie was seen packing his office belongins into his car. hmmm . . . maybe an early out?

Im certain this new Sheriff is 'very much a family man' - quite a few people, like at the courthouse, can vouch for his integrity as a family man.
Im certain that his past efforts in 'building relationships', will mean for good co operation from other county agencies.
Of course, family comes first.

Congratulations Steve Whidden. I had to stay in the back ground but we did it. It really going to feel good to have a Sheriff that cares about the people and his deputies. And not just himself and what he can get.
But one thing I really feel sorry for the deputies that have to work there until Ronnie is out of office. Just hang in there guys.

Steve Whidden is not gay/bi/homosexual. He is a very good guy who takes pride in his work. I worked with him for 2 years he never once acted like a jerk toward women or men. He has a wonderfull family and he is very much a family man. All the Buford supporters will see this in the years to come. Sheriff Whidden is going to make a great leader and he will show the Buford supporters this. He has alot to straighten out when he gets in office just like Steve Worley did. Buford leaves a mess when he leaves office so lets just face the facts. Steve Whidden won and if we show support he will show us he cares and all of us tax payers will be treated equilly we will all get patrol in our area's. Ya'll gave Buford a chance so give Steve a chance/ again
CONGRATS SHeriff WHIDDEN

Wow.
Gari,
His nickname is Peaches because he worked in Georgia prior to coming to the HCSO. Buford did not run Whidden out of the SO he ran from the SO when Capt. Johnson ordered him to arrest an informant without cause and without having done anything wrong. Whidden is not bi/homosexual and you can ask anyone and they will confirm that.
The SO will become the agency it should have been for the last four years, one that can be respected and where the guys are happy to come to work and hold their heads high.
Congrats Sheriff Whidden!!

| I can tell you what it will not be Gari, It will not be the disgusting mess it has been for the last four years, Ive been there a long time and this has been one of the worst administrations I have ever seen. Everyone in this county knows there are individuals who do not belong in uniform working for Lee, Worley knew them, took out the trash, and then lee brought them back. Now every body WATCH for the promotions and BIG PAYOUTS before the end of the term, the INNER CIRCLE will be payed off at dept. exspense ( YOUR TAXPAYER MONEY ) just like before, WATCH and remember this time so you don't ever put this guy back in office. Well at least for some there will plenty of time for HANGOVERS now since LT has your slot

| One thing really scares me-there are so many stupid, uninformed voters in this county. If you go through any of the trailer parks you will notice retiries wearing uniforms (no gun) and driving marked cars. These are not retired LEO either. They are just old guys that get their jollys driving around acting like they can do something. So, they will vote for RL because he has giving them a life. They will tell all their friends how wonderful he is because he gave them a car and uniform and tin badge so they could play cop. It is not just the trailer parks either. He recruits them everywhere. There are alot of them---they usually own an older conversion van or small pick up truck with alot of bumper stickers on them. They tend to wear alot of polyester and are very mouthy! One lady told us yesterday she voted for RL because he is always dressed so nice! OH MY GOD! So do cult leaders!

| Does he really think it's gonna do any good at this point? Boy he sure does know how to spend the tax payers money. But I still have yet to see a unit patrol my area in the past 3 3/4 years. Way to go Buford all you had to do to get more votes was to patrol the outer lieing area's of the county and central county and uh oh yeah pull your head out of your a$$ and whip the s**t out of your eye's and see what 's going on around you. Yeah that may have gotten you at least one more vote.

| The office employees you saw holding signs on the corner yesterday were working inside in their offices when the building shook as the door slamed and Ronnie Lees voice was heard everywhere (including the lobby) Im the sheriff and you will support me, you need to be on those corners holding signs! Your taxpayer dollars at work!

| For your info there is a elections party at S. English's house tomarrow night at 7 pm . This was put out on department email. I know this because of one of his big supporters asked me if I wanted to go not knowing I am for Steve and that I blog. Does this sound like good use of Department email? Another constructive way to use tax payers money. Plan a party and email it out on department computor that we the tax payers pay for. I see this is another reason to get them out of our Sheriffs office that's right our as in the tax payers office.

I bet FOX 4 news would love to do some digging into these allegations of misconduct. It's all public record.
The payroll lady (S. Hicks) was AT WORK TODAY, then you know she went to the main office, whats next.....tadah... she's on the street corner holding R.L signs. R. L should be ashamed of himself having his on duty workers go out and hold signs.
Just before her I saw Chief Devon Land and Myra Quesada Egley. Yep as soon as there ready for a break, they walk right back into the main office.. to their offices as if ON DUTY.
Once again R.L should be ashamed having these people out their holding signs while at work.
Sheesh atleast wait til 5 p.m. then go hold signs.

Can someone honestly tell me if this election will be as close as the presidential election or do you see it a landslide one way or the other?
